Subject: Appointmrnt on Mars (Tales of Tomorrow).
Season 1, episode 39.
Original air date: 27 June 1952.
Cast: Leslie Nielsen (Robbie), William Redfield (Bart), Robert Keith Jr. (Jack), Mark Allen (Martian Voice: uncredited), Allyn Edwards (Announcer: uncredited) and Sam Locante (Martian Voice: uncredited).
Leslie Nielsen was originally meant to shoot his assailant at the end of the episode. However the prop gun refused to fire, so Nielsen had to strangle his attacker instead.
From IMDB.

This episode isn't stellar, but it isn't bad.

It's always interesting to see how generations bygone did sci-fi.

That's not Brain Keith's father, that *is* Brian Keith. In his early acting days, he went by Robert Keith Jr. :-)

Subject: pretty standard sci-fi plot
What makes this worth watching are the appearances of Leslie Neilsen and Brian Keith's father Robert (the likeness is astonishing).

I've seen this sci-fi plot in countless books, movies and tv shows... astronauts land on an alien world and begin killing each other. Good performance by Brian Keith.
